A fucking McDonald's employee? How cucked can you be to work at McDonald's and call the police on this hero?

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 92 points 2 weeks ago

Real class traitor shit

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 62 points 2 weeks ago

It honestly makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Someone working at McDonalds could absolutely have their lives changed in a serious material way by the reward money being offered by the authorities here. It's awful but America has done an absolutely incredible job at separating out workers into individual units that are meant to fight each other for scraps rather than allowing them to organize into coherent worker groups with class solidarity. This is exactly the kind of thing America was built to do and has decades of propaganda encouraging this sort of behavior so it shouldn't be surprising.

Everybody snitches. You have to treat it like everyone else that you ever did anything with is snitching.

Never forget folks, it's not personal, you gotta just live your life like they're gonna snitch.

[-] Verenata@hexbear.net 48 points 2 weeks ago

It's so embarrassing, if I knew that person I'd bully them.

fwiw people on libsky are saying it might not be him since it doesn’t make sense for him to still have the weapon 5 days after the shooting, which I kind of agree with (though he may have been holding onto it to get rid of it in a more secure way)

The 26-year-old was picked up at a McDonald’s in Altoona after an employee thought he looked like the man in New York Police Department photos and called police

Hope the snitch gets what’s coming to them

[-] Blockocheese@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago

Of fucking course it's in Altoona

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 97 points 2 weeks ago

The man also had a two-page document railing against the health care industry and suggesting violence is the answer, a police official who has seen the document told CNN.

Chat, we might get a manifesto

[-] glimmer_twin@hexbear.net 94 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Why would you even flee if you were going to carry a manifesto that is basically a confession around for a week. Lends credence to the framed by cops theory tbh.

Yeah this section stuck out to me.

What do you mean exactly, police, that he "had a document"?

Like he had it written out in paper form and was carrying it around with him? Like he wrote it online and published it? Like it is saved on his desktop? If it's the latter, how did you find it?

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 65 points 2 weeks ago

Either the pigs are lying or the suspect isn’t nearly as bright as we all thought. Because wtf

[-] Bidentime@hexbear.net 39 points 2 weeks ago

Or he wanted to be caught and was getting annoyed with the police ineptitude

Sounds incredibly convenient tbh

[-] miz@hexbear.net 61 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I can believe they'd pick a guy who looks close enough and plant a suppressor and a fake ID, but you'd figure the plan would involve killing him in the process

The weapon is a ghost gun – an untraceable, homemade weapon – another law enforcement source told CNN.

I mean, let's be honest, it's Western Pennsylvania

I'm honestly surprised there aren't more people being arrested with fake ID's and suppressors on hand

[-] spectre@hexbear.net 61 points 2 weeks ago

I know greyhound is a fuck but I thought he'd be a little farther away after 5 days than Pennsylvania

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 41 points 2 weeks ago

That too

Hard to believe he prepared for everything and only made it a couple hundred miles away

L. probably wanted to Adjust somebody else , otherwise why not ditch the IDs, gun and suppressor as soon as was convenient. dude got greedy, shoulda taken a flight abroad and chilled at least for a while

UNLESS this is made up by the pigs which is very possible

Death to America

[-] Dessa@hexbear.net 61 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

All this about how terrible Mangione's politics are is exactly WHY they wanted to catch him. It's not about punishing that guy. It's about giving a face to a upswell of class solidarity with the hope of alienating people.

The more we focus on the perp, the less we focus on the deed and the good it did, the more the working class falls into bickering about what kind of person he was.

I don't care about the guy. I wanna know about the snitch. They know which McDonald's it was. Who snitched?

Man being questioned is identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione published at 11:43

https://www.bbc.com/news/live/crk0ep61p2mt?post=asset%3Acea5213a-550e-420e-990d-46479ea87642#post

The man being questioned by police in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson has been identified as 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, police city commissioner of New York City, Jessica Tisch says.

Mangione was reportedly found with an ID that had his name on it, along with a fake ID. He was detained at a McDonald's on Monday morning in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

He has not been charged in connection with the shooting.

This seems to be his twitter: https://xcancel.com/pepmangione

The smile definitely looks the same. I've been googling the guy and he was valedictorian of his high school class. No visible ideological leaning from the twitter account which has a history going back to 2022.

[-] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 65 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I see that he has a spinal fusion located on his lumbar back on his twitter account banner. Yeah, going through that in your teens or 20s will make you hate the healthcare insurance industry.... Don't ask how I know that. Or do actually, I'm prepared to talk about such.

no ideological leaning but someone who is skimming dark enlightenment transhuman/AI adjacent bullshit.

(maybe not. sorry im going through some things reading his twitter. dude is a mess. god americans wtf. it's like some combo of dark enlightenment and ~~anti-capitalist~~ with a side of eco lib)

[-] Shaleesh@hexbear.net 53 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, it looks like he is atleast not our kinda guy. Theres antifeminist shit and wanking about Rome in there. Fuck this shit, fuck this country.

[-] hellyesbrother@hexbear.net 64 points 2 weeks ago

The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is unethical speaks volumes.

He's not explicitly tied to any ideology, just your average confused mid 20s American dude. That means lots of rightwing bullshit, it appears to just permiate the air over there.

He retweeted some China fearmongering blog post, so probably not left leaning. Seems like typical computer science stem type

Also accusing Richard Dawkins of being woke or something:

Two things: critical support, regardless of his viewpoints he did a cool thing. Second, maybe it's good that it's another chud adjacent guy so we don't get targeted.

Rip to a real one.

I wonder if any American normies will stop to consider why this particular killing became a manhunt across half the nation within days, when similar crimes happen all across America every day without such efforts.

Put me in the don't jump to conclusions camp. Going through details none of this makes really clicks.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 46 points 2 weeks ago

lol was he actually planning to kill other people if this is real?

If he's gonna keep the gun and suppressor around he might as well have just made the gun work properly to begin with, everyones assumption about it not cycling was that he obviously was just planning to toss the gun and suppressor afterwards.

[-] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago

Police also traced his movements before the shooting via a Greyhound bus originating in Atlanta and bound for New York City.

This kind of backwards surveillance is chilling

[-] Hohsia@hexbear.net 43 points 2 weeks ago

It shows that pigs could catch and solve any crime they wanted, but that detail will be conveniently ignored 🤬🤬🤬🤬
